Answer:

Character motivation can greatly increase tension and story elements in a story plot.

Explanation:

Character motivation is the reason why characters act they way they do and do what they do. For example: "Jacob was so hungry he would kill a dragon just for food." Jacob's character motivation is his hunger. He needs food desperately. This could change how Jacob acts in the story compared with other people.

"The mafia threatened to steal all of Jacob's belongings. Jacob agreed with them, as long as they gave him food. The mafia took all of Jacob's things, including his house, in exchange for a meal. Jacob ate his cheeseburger happily."

If Jacob had a different character motivation, he might have acted differently, but he desperately wanted food, so he gave away all of his belongings.

lack of educating the children living in poverty that they can get out and how to do it. There is a lot of negative influence that can surround these kids and it is easier from them to make bad choices because of their surroundings.
